School Holiday Junior Fishing Competition
We will be announcing details of our School Holiday Junior Fishing comp next week. We have some great prizes up for grabs and entry if free. Watch this space.
Beaches
North Narrabeen, Collaroy and Dee Why have all fished well for whiting over the past week with some decent sized fish landed. Beach worms are the go-to bait.
There have been few small to medium sized jewfish captured off the beaches all taken on squid baits. Try North Narrabeen, Mona Vale and Palm Beach.
There have also been some large schools of salmon hanging around Narrabeen beach in close. These can be targeted using small metal lures or pilchard baits.
There are some nice bream around now, not in huge numbers, but they are good sized fish. Try the gutters on Queenscliff and Dee Why beaches using beach worms.

No reports this week
Narrabeen Lake
There are some decent bream being captured around Jamieson Park, Pipe Clay Point and near the Narrabeen Sports Academy. These have been taken on beach worms, prawns, and soft plastics in the prawn profiles.
Those fishing at night have encountered small jewfish and decent flathead using fresh prawn profile soft plastics and fresh baits. There has been some good flathead taken during the day flicking Daiwa Double clutch lures around the weed beds and drop-offs.
Down around the Ocean St bridge, some nice whiting were encountered on the top of the tide using beach worms.
Offshore
There have been football field sized schools of baitfish (yakkas and slimeys) in close during the week.
Long Reef has produced a few decent snapper in close as has Dee Why Wreck and Newport Reef. Fish have been taken on squid and pilchard baits as well as soft plastics. Plenty of berley was required to get them on the bite.
Kingfish have been present off Queenscliff, Dee Why wreck, and Valiant wreck taking fresh squid and jigs.
The 50m mark drift off Mona Vale Hospital has produced some flathead as has off Palm Beach Headland. Best baits were mullet strips and pilchards.
Pittwater
Salmon are schooling up around Barrenjoey Headland and West Head. These can be caught using small metal lures cranked fast back to the boat.
Some decent bream have come from the Browns Bay and McCarrs Creek area taken on very lightly weighted peeled Hawkesbury prawns fished in a berley trail.
There were also some great flathead and flounder taken on the drift between Palm Beach RSL and Stokes Point. Mullet strips and pilchards are the preferred baits.
Still some blue swimmer crabs around with some nice crabs taken at Clareville and Sandy Point.
